Davis Brain Spatula d/e malleable 6x178mm

Clinical Application

This malleable brain spatula is intended for controlled retraction of cortical and deep intracranial tissues during neurosurgical procedures such as tumor resection, hematoma evacuation, and microsurgical approaches. The narrow 6 mm blade provides focused retraction with minimal footprint, while the full length helps reach through craniotomies and deeper operative corridors without excessive instrument crowding. The instrument is useful for maintaining exposure during delicate microdissection and for protecting adjacent neural structures by distributing contact pressure along a flat blade.

Design & Configuration

The malleable, double-ended configuration permits intraoperative contouring so the surgeon can shape each blade to match the curvature of the operative field. Having two working ends reduces the need for exchanges and gives immediate access to alternate blade profiles or orientations. The flat, broad spatula geometry distributes pressure across cortical surfaces to reduce focal compression, and the 178 mm shaft length provides reach for both superficial and deeper approaches through standard craniotomies.
